Total volume inorganic waste produced (tons)

The inorganic waste at Chiayi University primarily comes from 12 main sources: scrap iron, tin cans, plastic waste, PET bottles, aluminum cans, cartilage aluminum, stainless steel, waste lighting illuminant, cable, batteries, glass, and other electronic waste.  The staff collects the waste, brings it to the recycling center, and weighs every item. Trash inside the recycling bins is sorted by category and placed in the designated recycling areas.  The staff further sorts general waste.  In addition, construction materials are not wasted. The excess soil, gravel, and building materials left over from construction projects are uniformly recycled by the Maintenance and Repair Team in General Affairs Office and are used in other related projects.  In 2023, the total amount of waste on campus is 124.34 tons, of which the inorganic waste amounts to 24.68 tons.
